Mathematics: Publishing

The Association of University Presses released a new website, Ask Up, an online source that explains the ins and outs of university presses. The site includes dozens of frequently asked questions like: What should I include in my proposal? Why should I consider publishing my article in a university press journal? Why do I have to get permission for this item? The site also lets scholars ask their own questions, which will be vetted and answered by a new AUPresses member each quarter. This first quarter will see NYU Press staff at the helm.

Copyright raises many questions: What can I use freely? When do I need to get permission? What is covered by copyright? How do I protect my intellectual property? This workshop will provide an overview of U.S. copyright law in the academic setting and point the way to resources that help in making decisions and knowing when to seek legal advice.
